Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, the 24-hour period that could make (but mostly break) the remaining candidates for president. This Soul-Crushing Monday™ brings big news of its own, however, and not just that Justice Clarence Thomas has asked his first question during a Supreme Court hearing in 10 years. Donald Trump is surging, you see, and by tomorrow night he could officially be unstoppable in his quest to either Make America Great Again or destroy one of its two major political parties.

In a CNN poll out today, the Orange One enjoys the support of 49 percent of Republicans nationwide. That is more than all four of his very low-energy opponents combined. Trump's nearest competitor, Marco Rubio, is more than 30 points behind at a mere 16 percent. Ted Cruz is at 15, Ben Carson at 10, and John Kasich rounds out the sad sack chasing pack at 6. Moreover, just 22 percent of Trump's supporters say there's a chance they could change their minds and abandon him, while they're also far more enthusiastic about the coming election than Republicans who have resisted the pull of the apricot demagogue.

But remember the Trump Freedom Kids mantra: Deal from strength or get crushed every time. So let's look at the state-by-state polling, specifically of voters who will reportedly take part in tomorrow's debatably-super event. According to RealClearPolitics, of the 11 states with Super Tuesday Republican primaries, Trump is leading definitively in 7 of them. In all but one of those, he leads by double digits. Some speculate that if Trump takes more than 55 percent of the 595 delegates up for grabs tomorrow, he will be mathematically impossible to stop.

The surge comes amid mounting evidence that Trump has been a boon to both high-profile and rank-and-file white supremacists, something that hasn't deterred the outsider's first mainstream endorsers, either. Former Republican opponent Mike Huckabee defended Trump against accusations of racism in an interview this morning. (He also claimed the South was less racist than other parts of the country.) Another ex-frenemy, Chris Christie, endorsed him last week, as did Alabama senator and last living Civil War general Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. It's a nice reminder that careerism always comes before ideology—and, of course, what's best for the country.
